Fixed it for you. You know it's your "end all, I'm done with collecting. I have all I need now" Character
Queen Studios / InArt to do sixth scale figures

I only just remembered today that real early on, InArt was supposedly working on a Zixia from Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey. Has anything ever been said about that since they actually started releasing figures? This was like before Joker even came out if I remember right

If I remember correctly or didn’t imagine this: they said it fell through…or something to that effect.

Personally, I like InArt’s snail’s pace so far for announcements and releases.
Imagine trying to keep up collecting at $400 - $500 a figure if InArt increased their production capacity and released on a more consistent level, on top of all the other figures we buy.
I realize the delays can be frustrating but as someone who doesn’t discriminate when it comes to collecting figures/statues/scales and buys from all companies, it’s already difficult for the wallet to keep up with all the new product announcements as is.

Agreed!

I really don't know how they're going to announce/release 15 figures this year. What exactly is going to be announced this year if figures like Batfleck and WW aren't expected until "end of the year or early next year"? It seems like all the upcoming figures we're aware of aren't going up for preorder anytime soon. The only figures currently on preorder that will release this year are Hermione, MJ, and Legolas.
There's no way they're going to put 15 figures up in what's now 11 months. 5 tops. And that's being generous.

100% what you’re saying is true. They couldn’t even release all the figures they teased at the start of next year let alone everything else they said that’s in the pipeline
Companies have a short window in this game to establish their style and quality. So many have come and gone over the years.
InArt's was to come out of the gate guns blazing, then slow to a crawl while feeding the community a masterclass of mixed messages and confusion and the odd great figure in between.
There's growing pains with every company, but we're well past that and they still have the same issues.

They said they’re aiming to put up “10-12” SKUs up for PO this year.
I bet it’d be the following:
Q1: Sun Wukong
Q1-Q2: Rick, Daryl, Negan (after CNY)
Q3: Catwoman (“mid-year, June or July”)
Q4: Batfleck (“light armor only in December”), Frodo (maybe), Sam (maybe), Wonder Woman (maybe), TDK Batman (maybe) ****Johnny said Frodo and Sam could see a late 2025 announcement, but most likely early 2026. He pretty much said the same for WW and TDK Batman.****
They also said Thorin and Snape as well for PO this year. Along with (2) Chainsaw Man figures and (1) more? Wukong line figure.
That’s 10 sure-fire POs with a handful of maybes. Imo, I think it checks out lol

Imo, INART is here to stay.
I don’t think I ever got the impression they’d come out fire hot. They’ve always preached slow burn, in for the long haul. This is only year 4, imo, still relatively new.
I'm not saying they're going to leave anytime soon. I used to look forward to seeing Matrix figures from them, but they're talking about them since they launched and not so much as an unpainted sculpt to be seen.
They don't seem to like making money, and their trickle of releases annually would be very frustrating if they were my main company.

Before, it was Matrix 4 Neo they had shown. You really wanted that? As of June of last year they finally confirmed they’d do Neo from the OG trilogy (I personally hope it’s Matrix 1 based).
I collect both companies. My favorite IP they have is Game of Thrones and I’m okay with waiting. There’s tons of other stuff coming out that’ll keep me busy.
My major gripe with them is how they don’t realize what they have and what sells: more DC. BvS Batfleck, TDK Batman and BvS Wonder Woman should’ve already been announced or coming up soon in the slate rather than late this year or next. Frodo and Sam as well, but we might see them early next year too.. It seems like the next 2 years will consist of them “finishing” up current lines they’ve started before moving onto major lines or sprinkling in more one-offs.
